**This Photo Show and Tell coincides with this week’s Walgreen’s sale. To see the entire list of sales items at Walgreens this week, go Here! I had a great time at Walgreens today. My Walgreens was stocked of the items I was looking for, I had $10.50RRs (Register Rewards) that were expiring tomorrow and the store was empty so I was able to do multiple transactions and not feel badly about it at all! 🙂 When all is said and done, I spent a total of $3.19 on all of the items in the picture above. I saved $138.61 AND I earned $16RRs to use next time! My day today is a perfect example of why it is better to do multiple transactions when you are dealing with RRs. I will break down all of my transactions in case you are interested in buying any of the items I bought. Also – don’t forget I started with $10.50 RRs!

I just found your blog. I recently began using coupons and shopping at CVS and Walgreens. i am learning! I was reading several posts on your blog and I saw that you consider Runner’s World a “must have”. Are you a runner? Me too! Recreational runner, that is.
I am looking forward to learning from your blog!

Hi Roan! Yeah!! A fellow runner! 🙂 I don’t pay for many magazine subscriptions but I will pay FULL PRICE for Runner’s World. I am an avid recreational/competitive runner as well! Running Gasparilla Half Marathon this Sunday! Welcome to my blog. Let me know if you have any questions or if I can assist you at all – I would love to help!

Hysterical…I read SouthernSavers. Saw your link on “how did you do this week” so this is my first visit. Ironically, my hubby too finds Runner’s World a second only to his Bible 😉 and he also will be running the 1/2 tomorrow with you and you won’t even know it! Nice to “meet” you!

Hi Tausha and Brianne! Tausha – how did your hubby do in the Gasparilla half today? It was a BEAUTIFUL day for a race. I had a wonderful time and it’s a shame I didn’t see you or your husband there! Brianne – You are so right about the weather! My friend ran the 15k at Gasparilla yesterday and we definitely had better weather today! I LOVED Wicked. I hadn’t read much about the actual storyline so everything I saw today was new and exciting. Now I need to watch Wizard of Oz again!!
